A club for owners of Parrot Cichlids

Hello,

I have 2 blood parrots in a 55 gallon tank. Their sex was unknown until my larger one (about 4 inches) began laying eggs last Friday. I've watched closely and saw that most all of the eggs had disappeared from the jar she laid them. I figured that she had eaten them. However, she's been continually laying eggs for 8 days now.

I bought 2 small blood parrots and put them in a tank. Thought nothing of it soon I noticed they were fighting with each other so I figured they would settle down in a little while Nope was not happening .So i got the brainy idea to get a bigger one to put in the tank with them thinking that would stop them from fighting ,well you can guest what happen the big one terrorize them .So now I have 3 tanks one for each fish.So the some of my story is to really know your fish before you buy  :) have a great day pern

Well, we almost got hit by hurricane Earl, Thanks to the advice on water changes every some hours and the battery pump, my BP's are fine!..Thanks! I had no power since Sunday until I wrote this post! By the way not all was bad, I got my 125gl and another 55gl...pretty cheap... ;) ....

Picked up a Bonsai Flowerhorn I suspect is male so when he gets bigger I am gonna try to brred him with one of my fmelae parrots to try to get Kirin Parrots. Poor little guy has ick though. I got a new baby Chinese Golden thread Turtle, so cute!

My BP is getting really fat, I'm starting to wonder if it's bad for him.  It started with this trick I described in this post:

How do you know the male parrot form the female.

I have two parrot cichlids. The male is Jellybean and the female is Latisha...Anyhow, they want to have little baby fry very badly. At first I was glad that they would lay eggs and they wouldn't hatch. However, now I am beginning to feel bad that they keep trying to no avail. Is there any way that I can help them with their quest for little babies? Should I help them or will I end with thousands of little babies? My tank is 55 gallons with a divider. I have gold fish and tetras on one side and my parrot cichlids, clown loaches, and a pink tailed chalceus on the other.

Please help!  Yesterday one of my red parrot fish died. I had five parrots in a 30 gallon tank. I usually clean the tank once every week
 because it is overstocked and I add ammonia filter as well as carbon.

My poor George passed this afternoon.  Ms. Jayne has recovered and the rest of the feeders and catfish appear fine, but the infection was too much for him:(
